Andy1066 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes I got one of these the other day. Mmmmm - Not impressed with Hattons - Think I will stick to Tower Models .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Tower Models are still listing it. Has anyone seen photos of the K&ESR one? Is it the right shade of blue? I'm not sure whether to order a second one to convert to Rolvendon, but it looks like I may have to decide pretty soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I thought the service from Hatton's was very good. I got "Thames" very quickly. Having said that I have had stuff from Tower in the past and they have been very good as well. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I received said email as I had originally ordered that model from Rails of Sheffield. Hattons had Brighton model at gbp154 and had 4 left, so bought that and cancelled the BR LC model. It arrived in 6 days, usually has taken about 2 weeks the last few years from UK to OZ. A friend has ordered a BR version, don't know which one from Tower so having something different is okay. Mine runs very well and only one of the cabside number plates had come off in transit. So well done Dapol and Hattons. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overner Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 'Photographic evidence has shown that W9 Fishbourne can be modelled more accurately and that some features from Newport have not been included in the tooling.' An interesting admission from Dapol - I wonder which features! As an aside, one of my Terriers had incorrect coupling rods on one side and correct on the other. As they are handed, this rules out a simple change over. I've emailed Dapol and asked for the correct rods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting admission from Dapol - I wonder which features! Newport (as well as Freshwater) has for example special sandboxes and additional steps and handrails in front of the water tanks, whilst Fishbourne remained with the exception of the extended bunker pretty much a "standard" A1X.

RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted October 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2015 Attached is a photo of my repainted Terrier - part of the fleet of my Elsbridge Wharf layout: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/97585-elsbridge-wharf-1906-neilhbs-layout Further details can be found in my layout thread - needless to say I am very impressed with my Terrier - I don't need another one but I fear I may cave soon... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Sets the Pace Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) As a delighted owner of both No. 40 Brighton and Southern 2644, it is a pity that out of all the IoW Terriers (see table below), Dapol will be making a model of W9 Fishbourne, the Terrier with the shortest association with the Isle of Wight ( http://Dapol.co.uk/i...31#.Vg5KUvlViko ). Given the work put into the tooling for the extended IoW bunker, why not go the extra distance and make a model of one of the two Terriers preserved at Haven Street? Number/Name Also Known As Built On Isle of Wight Fate W9 75 Blackwall 1872 March 1899 - April 1926 Scrapped 1926 W10 Cowes 69 Peckham 1872 April 1900 - May 1936 Scrapped 1949 W9 Fishbourne 50 Whitechapel 1876 May 1930 - May 1936 Preserved as 61 Sutton by the Borough of Sutton W2, W8 Freshwater 46 Newington 1877 June 1913 - April 1949, June 1979+ Preserved (IoW Steam Railway) W11 Newport 40 Brighton 1878 January 1902 - February 1947, January 1973+ Preserved (IoW Steam Railway) W3, W13 Carisbrooke 77 Wonersh 1880 May 1927 - April 1949 Scrapped 1960 W4, W14 Bembridge 78 Knowle 1880 May 1929 - May 1936 Preserved by the Terrier Trust W12 Ventnor 84 Crowborough 1880 November 1903 - May 1936 Scrapped 1949 Edited October 7, 2015 by Fay Sets the Pace 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overner Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) I think the answer's in the question. The tooling for the IoW bunker is probably the only additional tooling done and, apart from the bunker, the only change they need to make to come up with a passable IoW Terrier. Most of the others, which were on the island before grouping, retained the front sandbox/splasher from their A1 days and had no sandboxes below the footplate. I've converted mine to Carisbrooke for very similar reasons as it too was a mainland rebuild with the standard A1X sandbox/splasher changes and it, and Fishbourne were the only ones to retain Stroudley chimneys.

IWCR Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The front steps were only fitted to Island Terriers very late (WW2 or just after) hence only apply to 8, 11 & 13 in their wartime livery and Malachite in the case of 13. SR or BR Sunshine lettering for 8 & 13, SR Sunshine only for 11 When in lined Olive, no front steps or handrail. (retained on the preserved engines for convenience of use) A further difference on 8 only is that it was fitted with O2 type opening front cab spectacles, also Circa WW2. All the pregrouping IOW terriers kept the A1 type sandboxes, the 3 SR imports had the later type. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed's book, 'The Island Terriers'; front steps and tank handrails were fitted to No's 8, 11 and 13 in 1935/6 when still in late Maunsell lined olive green. No 14 appears, from photographic evidence to have received front steps but no handrail shortly before it's return to the mainland in 1936 where they then seem to have been removed! No's 9, 10 and 12 appear never to have received them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CME and Bottlewasher Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Hi All, Havnt the time to read through all new Posts. I have had great service from Hattons - and yet the only time they let me down was when the dropped a model from the range and didnt tell me until I pushed for an answer. And my family uses them, or Tower when appropriate, for xmas and birthday presents etc. Rails helped plug that gap though. I shall contact Tower and see if the Terrier issue applies to them too?

David Bigcheeseplant Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I was wondering if any of the surviving ten terriers any two are in the same condition not including livery. I was trying to find out but it seems some have had changes in preservation including removing the IOW bunker on Knowle (I think) David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartleymartin Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looking at it now, I think that black wheels were the way to go. She's a very attractive little 0-6-0 in that paint scheme! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted October 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks Martin - I agree with you on that one (but then I am biased!). The red just didn't look right so black was really the only way. Edited October 5, 2015 by NeilHB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CME and Bottlewasher Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ours (BR late livery) still on its way, yet maybe delayed slightly, but no panic as I shall be happy if it arrives safe and sound in good packaging, looks and runs well - then we can decide if we want to fettle further as appropriate.

stonetown Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Dapol stated on their Facebook page, they would consider to bring later on also the other I.O.W. variants with A1 type sandboxes etc., if people want these and let them know. So it´s up to us, to express our interest for these, and we might get them! Manuel Edited October 7, 2015 by stonetown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonetown Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi CME, good point. I assume the best way would be to ask directly at upcoming exhibitions. But also emailing or Facebook would be alternatives. And just because Dapol isn´t writing here anymore dosen´t necessarily mean they aren´t still reading, I guess.

Fay Sets the Pace Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) The larger IoW coal bunker makes a nice variation for locomotives that returned to the mainland. W9 Fishbourne spent much of its time on the Hayling Island Branch as BR No. 32650 with the larger IoW bunker.
